Bids will be compared on the per-gallon hauling rate, determined by dividing the full trailer gallon capacity by the cost bid for hauling a full trailer. Although bids are evaluated on the per-gallon price, the City expects to pay for, and will pay for, only full loads hauled.

The City will pay for partial loads at a pro-rated rate only with prior approval from the Landfill Manager. Partial loads will only be approved when transporting a full load is not possible because the pickup completely empties the on-site storage tank(s).

This page reflects pricing for Fourth 1-Year Renewal (Year Five), contingent upon the City's exercise of its option to renew the Agreement for this additional 1-year period.

General Conditions for Construction Work

The "City of Waco Standard Specifications for Construction" (2013 Edition), hereinafter referred to as City Standard Specifications, is incorporated herein by reference for all intents and purposes. The General Provisions of the City Standard Specifications include provisions related to the administration of the contract. If a provision of the City Standard

Specifications conflicts with a provision in this solicitation, the provision in this solicitation controls. If the applicable provision is still unclear, the City Manager for the City of Waco, or his designee, will determine which provisions, specification or standard controls and his determination shall be final.

The City Standard Specifications may be obtained by accessing the City of Waco website at www.waco-texas.com.

(a) Permits and Fees: All permitting fees from the City will be waived on construction projects. The contractor will still need to apply for all applicable permits. However, there will be no cost associated with issuance of City permits.

(b) Time of Completion and Liquidated Damages: Completing the work described in this solicitation in a timely manner is very important to the City of Waco. Submitter must agree to commence work on or before a date to be specified in a written "Notice to Proceed" of the City and to fully complete the project within the time stated in the contract documents. As it is impracticable and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages, if any, that may proximately result from a failure by Submitter to perform the service, should Submitter fail to complete the project within the calendar days specified in the contract, Submitter agrees to pay to City, or have withheld from monies due it, the amount stated in the contract documents as liquidated damages for each calendar day of delay or nonperformance. Any sums due and payable hereunder by the Submitter shall be payable, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages representing an estimate of delay damages likely to be sustained by the City, estimated at the time of executing this Contract. Execution of a contract for this Project shall constitute agreement by the City and Submitter that said amount is the minimum value of the costs and actual damage caused by the failure of the Submitter to complete the Project within the allotted time. A sum due as liquidated damages may be deducted from payments due the Contractor if such delay occurs. Adjustments to the contract times can only be made as provided in the contract documents and any conditions or specifications referenced therein.

RFB No. 2026-032 Leachate Hauling for City of Waco Page 25 http://www.waco-texas.com/

(c) Conditions of Work: While the City is issuing a solicitation including specifications, each Submitter is still responsible for examining all of the issued documents, attending any pre-bid conference, making a site visit, and taking whatever steps are necessary to inform itself of the conditions relating to the project and the employment of labor thereon. Each Submitter must inform itself of the conditions relating to the project and the employment of labor thereon. Failure to do so will not relieve the Submitter awarded this contract of its obligation to furnish all material and labor necessary to carry out the provisions of the contract. Insofar as possible, the Selected Firm, in carrying out the Project, must employ such methods or means as will not cause any interruption of or interference with the work of any other contractor.

(d) Employment Conditions/Requirements: Submitters shall pay particular attention to the required employment conditions that must be observed and the minimum wage rates to be paid. If federal or state funds are involved in paying for the work, there may be additional requirements that must be followed to comply with the terms of the federal or state funding.

(e)

(t) Security for Faithful Performance [Payment and Performance Bonds]:

Simultaneously with his delivery of the executed contract, the Selected Firm shall furnish the required surety bonds as security for faithful performance of this contract (Performance Bond) and for the payment of all persons performing labor on the project under this contract and furnishing materials in connection with this contract (Payment Bond), as specified in the documents included herein. For public works contracts, state law requires a Performance Bond if the contract is for an amount in excess of $100,000.00 and a Payment Bond if the contract is for an amount in excess of $50,000.00. The surety on such bond or bonds shall be a duly authorized surety company satisfactory to the City. The surety who signs contract bonds must file with each bond a certified and effectively dated copy of their power of attorney.

(g) Force Majeure: In the event performance by the Selected Firm of its obligations under this Agreement shall be interrupted or delayed by or as a consequence of a fire, flood, severe weather, or other act of God, war, insurrection, civil disturbance, or act of state, the Selected Firm shall be excused from such performance for the period of time such occurrence shall have lasted or such period as is reasonably necessary to rebuild or take other action necessary to resume performance. The period of time reasonably necessary to rebuild or take other action necessary to resume performance shall be as determined by the agreement of the parties, which agreement shall be negotiated and arrived at in good faith. The Selected Firm shall notify the Contact Person or Contract Administrator of any matter covered above, the occurrence of which interferes or threatens to interfere with the performance of any of its obligations under the bid. Upon such notice, the Selected Firm and the City shall consult and cooperate as to measures which may be taken to overcome the interference or as to alternative measures which may be undertaken by the parties with a view to the continued performance of the bid agreement.

(h) Right to Assurance: Whenever one party to this contract in good faith has reason to question the other party's intent to perform, the questioning party may demand the other party give written assurance of its intent to perform. In the event that a demand is made, and no assurance is given within five (5) days, the demanding party may treat this failure as an anticipatory repudiation of the contract.

Price Discrepancy. In the case of a discrepancy between the unit price and the extended total for a bid item, the unit price will prevail. The unit prices of bids that have been opened may not be changed for the purpose of correcting an error in the bid price.
